Description

This is a great trail for several reasons. If you're cutting your teeth and beginning to run, it presents some scenic terrain without sustained climbs or harsh obstacles. For the more experienced, it's a fun place to explore to the end and back. There are a number of social trails that split off at various points but it should be easy to keep on the main trail.
